Well, you&#8217;ve reached the right place. Colorado is one of the best \u2014 if not <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> best \u2014 hunting grounds in America.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from its diverse geography with great forests, tall mountains, and arid flat plains, its fauna is incredibly rich, as well. Pronghorns, moose, black bears, and deer are on the table depending on the season. But the animal that makes Colorado truly special for hunters is elk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that Colorado has more elks than anywhere on the planet? With a tally of well over 280,000 elks roaming the wild parts of the state according to one estimate, the Centennial State is more or less the Mecca of elk hunters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested in planning a Coloradan Rocky Mountain elk hunting trip?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what you should know before you start.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are the Elk Hunting Seasons in Colorado?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you set out, always check the website of Colorado Parks &amp; Wildlife.

Needless to say, never attempt to hunt without a license. It is a serious criminal offense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re new to hunting and don\u2019t know where to start, the following are the basics that you need to know about the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qualifying License<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who wishes to hunt big game will need a <\/span><b><i>qualifying license<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This doesn\u2019t just include adults, but also youths from 12 to 17 years old, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qualifying licenses include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annual resident\/non-resident Small Game Hunting License<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annual resident\/non-resident Spring Turkey License<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resident Combination Small Game\/Fishing License<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veteran\/First Responder\/Senior Lifetime Combination Small Game Hunting\/Fishing License (available only for residents)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the license itself, you will need to purchase a Habitat Stamp, too. And if this is the first time that you have gone out hunting, you need to undergo <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hunter education<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you can apply for your qualifying license.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw System<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you hold one of these licenses, you will be eligible to apply to the <\/span><b><i>big game draw system<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the stage that will ultimately decide whether you get to hunt elk for the year or not. As a result, it is critical that you understand how to \u201cplay\u201d the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How the Draw System Works<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorhub.com\/how-to\/2015\/01\/14\/simple-guide-understanding-application-drawing-tag-terms\/\">draw system<\/a> was created to minimize the impact of hunting on the big game population in the state. It basically works like a lottery system. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you win the draw, you get the tag to hunt for the larger games<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Application for the draw is opened typically around June. At the time of this writing (October 2021), the deadlines have already passed. So, if you\u2019re reading this now, wait until 2022 to re-apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your application, you will have to write out <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">four <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">units and seasons that you wish to hunt in (called \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">choices<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first choice is the most important one, as it is the first one that the state will grant. It is also the only one out of the four choices to use the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preference point <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">system. Those with the highest preference points will win this round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get a preference point for every draw that you enter, but don&#8217;t get drawn. Alternatively, you can apply directly to forego using the first choice and get a preference point, instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you win the first round, all of the preference points that you accumulated will be reset to zero<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once all of the first choice applicants for that particular hunt code are processed, if there are still licenses remaining, they will be randomly distributed to those who put down that hunt code as their second choice. And if there are still spare licenses, the excess will continue to trickle down to third and fourth ranks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re lucky enough to get drawn in any choice, you will have to make an immediate payment to secure your tag. The Colorado Parks &amp; Wildlife organization updates <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">its website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the fees every year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Colorado residents (2021):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elk License (Adult): $56.88<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth Big Game License (Under 18): $16.05<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For non-residents, the license is more expensive (2021):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antlered or Either Sex Elk License (Adult): $688.26<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antlerless Elk License (Adult): $516.63<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth Big Game License: $105.51<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the system has drawn your name, the payment will be automatically made via the credit card you stated on the papers. If you miss the payment, your position in the draw will be forfeited.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips to Maximize Your Chance of Winning the Draw<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preference points decide your success in the draw. So, if you want to win it, you have to ration it as much as possible and use it wisely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you like to hunt in a unit or season that can be picked as part of the second choice, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do not put it as your first choice<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Remember, if you win your first choice, your preference points are struck down to zero. But if you lose, you get an extra point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, our best tip is to forego the first choice and apply for a preference point. Then, write down your desired hunt code in the second choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this does present a risk. Because, as we said, the second choice is drawn randomly, there\u2019s still a chance that you won\u2019t get the stamp for the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw Recap Report<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> comes in. Every year, Colorado Parks &amp; Wildlife releases the document to give you an idea of how licenses were distributed in the last season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If less than 100% of second-choice applicants win a license, you will also be taking a risk by applying for the second choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In that case, you have two options: either take the risk and apply for the second choice or go straight and apply as first choice knowing that you could be losing your hard-earned points. None of them sound appealing, but this is a luck-based system. You cannot always guarantee a win.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t Hold Onto Your Preference Points<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When preference points can only be earned once a year, it is easy to become anxious every time you have to put it on the line. It could take a decade or more to build enough points to gain a chance in one of the best units in the state. But, honestly, it\u2019s not worth waiting a decade for a hunt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every couple of years, there are many units and seasons that can be feasibly won with a point or two. Take these up and don\u2019t worry about the point reset. The trip will be great regardless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If these limited hunts aren\u2019t on the table and you didn\u2019t win the second draw, there are still Over-the-Counter (OTC) licenses. Like OTC medicine, these licenses can be straight-up purchased with no complicated drawing system involved.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Getting there:<\/h3>\n<p>Reaching the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado Parks &amp; Wildlife is probably only possible by car.
